Sense Active has partnered with UK Coaching, the UK’s professional association for sports coaches, launching a new online learning classroom to ensure anyone facilitating activities for those with sensory impairments or complex disabilities feel better equipped and more confident.
‘Connecting Differently Through Sport’ has been designed for people who are interested in engaging people with sensory impairments and complex disabilities in sport or physical activities. It offers a mixture of theory, learning, and practical activities to support a fully inclusive approach and is accredited by CIMSPA.
The workshop has been transformed into an online learning classroom to ensure delivery regardless of social distancing restrictions, and will allow a greater number of people to improve their understanding of impairment types, barriers to participation, communication styles and useful adaptations.
The online learning classroom will be delivered alongside the face-to-face workshop throughout 2021 and is suitable for sports coaches, instructors, volunteers, teachers, teaching assistants and leisure staff.
